GO WINGS!

What an awesome surprise we recieved for Christmas from our best friends, and Isabelle's godparents, April and JP...tickets to the January 6th game of the LA King vs. the Detriot Red Wings!

We started our evening by slipping into our Red Wing "sweaters" (jerseys as April and I call them) and driving out to the Odyssey restraunt to sit on thier patio overlooking the valley and watching the sunset. We then proceeded down the street to El Presidente for a quick bite to eat, thinking we would miss the game if we stayed and waited as long as we did for our drinks at the Odyssey. Deep fried appetizer platter...Izzy loved it!! But I was missing my Purple Cadillac Margarita.

The game was awesome...amazingly there was lots of red, since we were on the Kings playground. The Wings started off on top but unfortunatly were taken over in the last 15 minutes of the game. But we held our heads high as the Kings fans walked by booing the Wings or telling us they suck because all we had to proudly say was "10"..."10 Stanley cups" and they couldn't touch that :) Our boys celebrated regardless trying to keep with the Michigan tradition of...too much beer!

All in all, it was a great evening and we can't wait to take Izzy to her first Wings game. Who knows, it could be this winter when we are back on thier turf! GO RED WINGS!!
